This year I had the honour of attending various Anzac Day commemorations held in our community, including at the Kokoda Memorial Track, the Concord RSL dawn service, and the Breakfast Point dawn service..

A century ago, the focus of the First World War turned to the Western Front. The battles and victories of this era helped define the War, and define early Australia. The Burwood War Memorial Arch, erected soon after the First World War, stands as a reminder of our community’s sacrifices to fight for country and freedom.
